Kutcha Edwards
““Music is not what I do, it is who I am.””
Kutcha Edwards, Mutti Mutti, Yort Yorta, Nari Nari Songman has been prolifically combining songwriting and activism since he began making music in the 90’s.
As one of Australia’s most respected Indigenous singer/songwriters, Kutcha’s music and community work has earned him iconic status amongst both Indigenous and non Indigenous Australians.
What Kutcha shares through his songs and stories and with the people he encounters, is an often unheard truths, a heartfelt connection and a sense of belonging.
It is his experiences as a survivor of the Stolen Generations – the forced removal from Family, Culture, Country as an 18 month old baby followed by 11 years of institutionalisation in a children’s home - that has shaped Kutcha’s knowledge and diverse creative output. Kutcha’s remarkable journey of reconnection & reawakening of his proud Mutti Mutti heritage and language has bought a belonging & wisdom beyond the stolen years.
Today, Kutcha performs & works within multiple genres though his music, generating physical and spiritual rhythms that transcend and connects all of us to the universal themes of love, family and country.
‘...it was the giant Kutcha Edwards who had the audience by the throat. I don’t think I’ve seen a more soulful performance in my life...”
